• 2 cups Almond Milk
• 1 strip Lemon Peel
• 1 strip Orange Peel
• 1 small Cinnamon Stick
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 3 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1/4 cup Water
• 4 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

1. 1In a saucepan, combine almond milk, lemon peel, orange peel, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until simmering.
2. 2In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth.
3. 3Remove the citrus peels and cinnamon stick from the almond milk mixture.
4. 4Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the almond milk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

7. 7Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set.
